'''Edmodo''' (stylized '''edmodo''') is a social learning network for teachers, students, and parents. |
|||
== Design == |
|||
Edmodo's [[user interface]] has been described as similar to [[Facebook]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Technology invasion|url=http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/552101/Technology-invasion.html?nav=5010|publisher=Ogden Newspapers Inc.|accessdate=21 February 2011|author=ANDREA JOHNSON|date=20|month=February|year=2010}}</ref> Using Edmodo, teachers can post grades and assign homework to students. Students can then submit the homework and view their grade. The transmission is fast and paper-less. Teachers eliminate [[crossposting]] through the creation of sub-groups within a course.<ref name="Keeping it clean">{{cite web|title=Social Networking: Keeping It Clean|url=http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/01/25/social-networking-keeping-it-clean.aspx|publisher=1105 Media Inc.|accessdate=21 February 2011|author=John K. Waters|date=25|month=January|year=2011}}</ref> After each course period is completed the teacher closes out the network and creates a new one for the next course. |
|||
== Groups == |
|||
Groups are for a student's classes in Edmodo. Whenever a teacher posts to the group, it shows up as an alert in the notification box. Teachers and other students can also send you direct messages, and two newer of the newer features are quizzes made up of open-ended or multiple-choice questions and badges, which a teacher can assign to a student. |
|||
== History == |
|||
Edmodo was founded by Nicolas Borg and Jeff O'Hara, technologists working at separate schools in the Chicago area, as a secure [[microblogging]] medium for students and teachers. In 2010 Edmodo launched "subject" and "publisher" communities, a digital media library, a help center, and a parent accounts for communicating with teachers, parents, and students. |
